My name is Carol and I am a repeat offender. Who could resist?One of a kind cups and saucers. So pretty and brimfull of memories... I saw this one on the last stolen visit...I wonder who drank out of these dainty china cups? Scarlett of Tara perhaps..?It makes you want to have a tea party doesn't it? And the slight nip in the Fall air says you should!

Did you notice Paris Breakfasts has had a face lift?It's been on the drawing board waiting to happen and long overdue.I've always been mad for French labels.Especially confiture labels.Thanks to collaboration with graphic designer Pamela Fenwick I got my new banner just the way I wanted it.

OMG...These are to die for. I LOVE Eveything on this page. WONDERFUL new paintings. A tea party would be just the thing with all those gorgeous cups. Love your new banner. It's in pink & black how could I NOT love it. ;)Your blog just keeps getting better and better.

I love the font you use for your new banner, it's tout à fait you! I love your motto, that's parfaitement what you do.And thanks for all those cups... Stolen, stolen be your apples (http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1086.html)you paint dreams.

All right, the banner looks like a chocolate box - very classy and yummy!!! Those blue-birds are superb, these I want (if still available???) Carol you always please the eyes! p.s. I linked to you today via pomegranate trees...!

I have a similar china theft story. While vacationing in Berlin I went through a 'little' three story house set in the back of the Charlottenburg palace grounds. It houses the collection of royal china. When I reached the top floor there was no attendant to be found, so I happily snapped away. :)

I have been in love with tea cups since my college years when in our sorority girls sent one place setting (of a teacup and saucer) to the house and they sat on display, one more beautiful than the next. Unfortunately I didn't contribute to that legacy, but I will always remember sitting in the study and making up stories of the women who contributed each little piece of their new married life...

I have to admit, I so fell in love instantly with your new paintings of china that I never noticed your new banner until I got to the end of the blog. Tres chic! Those teacup paintings are truly exquisite, I love them!

Elegantly understated new banner! As for your thieving ways, I suppose I will have to post bail when you get caught! A Flickr friend (a close one, too - one I actually know other than virtually!) was escorted out of Whole Foods when they found her photographing the produce! Fine company I keep, non?
